In production since 1956, the Day-Date is one of the most recognizable Rolex series ever created. While the present Day-Date might look typical at first glance, an array of exceptional traits make the present timepiece a particularly exceptional and collectable example of the iconic model.
Giving some unique personality to the watch, the present example is configured with the German day disc. Most of the days in German end in the word “tag”, just as the English days end in "day”. While the watch is fitted with the German day indication, the case back is stamped with a French export mark – an unusual amalgamation which was likely realized by the fact that the watch was sold by WEMPE, a German retailer, in Paris. Most strikingly, the dotted hour markers on the dial are atypically large, adding an element of collectability.
A stunning combination of finely-crafted white gold case and unusual dial, excellently preserved condition, complete with all its punched Attestation de Chronomètre, hang tag and box, this watch is by all means a rare example only rarely discovered.
